  • Sunday Serenity & the second go w this fresh, fruit-forward & astounding Casablanca Valley Syrah (v15, 13.5% ABV). Having conferred my notes of 11 October 2022, really no further evolvement can be added. It is still a seventh heaven for those in like of NW Syrah - cassis juice, lively acidic structure & while being completely velvet in style, it never becomes jammy, combination of low ABV & fine acidity, presumably. Hats off to Villard.

  • Expressive nose of 2022 awarded to this superb Valle de Casablanca syrah masterpiece! Dense, dark and translucent ruby, garnet edges. Nose brimming with blackcurrant, wow. Spice, hints of licorice, olives - far, far away from the Northern Rhône cured meat-styled Syrah. Super-approachable medium-bodied palate, fresh and with juice as per nose, added orange zest. Full-out velvet explosion, fruit-driven. Lack of complexity and tannic structure outweighed by powerhouse fruit and elegans. No need for further cellaring.
